Calls

Open call for artworks in Grey Cube Galleries

The call for artworks for the summer season of 2015 is now open.

Grey Cube Galleries are situated on the Korkeasaari Island on the premises of the Helsinki Zoo, which has 430,000 to 500,000 visitors annually. The island is an artificial biodiversity hotspot, and it has been a part of Helsinki culture and a popular place to spend time for 125 years. The old castle-like bear enclosures were first taken over by art in the summer of 2014 with the Paikan tuntu (”Sense of Place”) project by the Union for Rural Education and Culture.

Celebrating Art's Birthday is a tradition started by French Fluxus artist Robert Filliou who declared, on January 17th 1963, that Art had been born exactly 1,000,000 years ago when somebody dropped a dry sponge into a bucket of water. Throughout the last decades artists continued organising annual celebrations in the spirit of Filliou's "Eternal Network" or "La Fête permanente". Also in 2015 all over the world will again be numerous networked birthday parties for art. More about Art's Birthday can be found here: http://www.artsbirthday.net

Nomadic academy of experimental arts brings together those interested in arts and alternative ways of learning, promoting the "eternal network" of all arts and artists. Nomadic academy of experimental arts is a venue for experimental art, research, workshops, events, studying and teaching. It offers visibility, resources and interesting concepts to work with but doesn´t demand any ownership on the work that is done in nomadic academy.
